Last month The National shared ‘New Order T-Shirt’, our second glimpse of their upcoming ninth studio album ‘First Two Pages of Frankenstein’. The gorgeous track sees vocalist Matt Berninger reflect on memories he’s missing, offering subtly heart-wrenching lyrics like: “I keep what I can of you / Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds” over mesmerising instrumentals.
Speaking about the track, Aaron Dessner explained: “To me the line ‘I keep what I can of you’ means something about everyone I’ve ever known or loved…There’s a simplicity to ‘New Order T-Shirt’ that reminds me of our earlier records, but with the full maturity and experience we have now. It feels like a really important song for the future of our band.”
